2024, the project objectives are to restore 1,200 ha of degraded land, train 1,200 producers to increase their production skills, and increase fonio production by 900 tons. In addition, this project aims to structure the processing and marketing chains for this traditional cereal by creating agricultural service centers for producers, providing access to technical training and supporting labeling and certification of crops for export. Fonio, which is rich in protein and gluten-free, has a strong nutritive and commercial potential with growing demand in the United States and Europe.<\/p><p>At the close of this project, 200 jobs will be created in the region, including 175 for women who are traditionally very involved in the cultivation and processing of fonio.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
